Poor Poor Jackson

Well, now I know why Jackson wouldn't sleep.  He was getting sick.  His ear infection didn't clear up on his last antibiotic so we have to try another one.  If this doesn't work we are headed to the ENT for consultation about tubes.  This morning he had a fever and it has stayed at 103 all day.  He really is pitiful.  Poor little fella.

Allow Me To Vent

This is really not a huge deal in the scheme of problems people deal with but I"m going to vent anyways...

By the end of the day Christmas day both (yes both) of my kids had fevers above 101.

On December 26th I am at the doctor confirming my fears.  Both (yes again both) of them have ear infections.

Merry Christmas to us!

Almost a Year Ago Today...

My birthday last year (December 19th) was spent in the doctor's office while Elli got chest x-rays.  Guess where we were this morning?  Almost exactly a year later and we were back in there about to have the same thing done.  Luckily, the doctor decided to just go ahead with medication and not take time to do the chest x-rays.  Elli has a major ear infection and a horrible chest cough.  The doctor said it may be bronchiolitis.  She has been sick ALL weekend with a high fever and just feeling awful.  We even tried to go see Santa when she seemed to be feeling better, but when we got there she told Santa she couldn't sit on his lap because she was too sick.  She was right, when we got home she looked a hot mess. I took her temp and it had spiked to 103.1.  It has been over 101 for the past three days.  Hopefully the medicine will help...

On top of that, my boy Jackson has been SUPER busy.  He learned to crawl this weekend and even pulled himself up twice.  Add that to the new teeth and this is a great place to be.

Sleep is over rated anyways right?!?!
